Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Bottom Cymbal 18"

Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Bottom Cymbal – Aggressive Trash Hat Sound

The Paiste PST X Swiss Flanger Stack Bottom Cymbal delivers the cutting-edge, distorted tone modern drummers demand. Featuring Paiste's signature Swiss hole pattern, this perforated cymbal eliminates airlock and produces a complex, crunchy frequency response ideal for secondary hi-hat applications or aggressive stacked effects. When paired with its matching top cymbal, it creates a "lo-fi" industrial voice that cuts through electronic and metal mixes with surgical precision.

This bottom cymbal excels in tight, controlled playing situations where sustain needs to be minimal and attack needs to be maximum. The thin aluminum-copper alloy construction combined with the perforated design creates natural flanging vibrations and a short, choked decay that prevents muddiness in your groove. Adjust your clutch tension to dial in anything from a dry, trashy "chick" to a shattering, noisy wash.
